Between 2013 and 2020, Dan of Earth's primary instrument was the Bibletron, a primitive hand-held synthesizer housed in a hollowed-out Gideon Bible. This was never meant to be a commentary on religion per se, but rather on the fact that Dan of Earth spent way too much time in hotels for work during this time.
There were a number of circuits that were used in Bibletrons--some were adaptations of commercially available devices, some were Dan of Earth's designs--electro-mechanical sequencers, sine-wave oscillators, etc. In 2015 a series of 20 Bibletrons (that somehow ended up having 24 of them in it?) was built encapsulating a patch that Dan of Earth used frequently on modular synth. These were called XORs, named for the exclusive-OR gate that the circuit used to provide a "ring modulator" effect.
Ballast Recordings released a boxed set of recordings made using the XORs, details here: https://ballastnvp.blogspot.com/2015/09/bibletron-studies-9-x-3-cdr-set-now.html
There are a number of videos on Vimeo showing various Bibletrons in action here: https://vimeo.com/user6055651
